Basic installation overview – LP12
1.
Remove the turntable power cord from the mains supply, inner & outer platter,
arm counterweight and secure your tonearm with its retaining clip or use
masking tape to secure. To prevent oil leaking out the baring, ensure you tape
over the top of bearing or use a bung
2.
Remove the platter base board.
3.
Mount the Linn internal cross-brace using plastic stand-off clips. The Linn
bearing should be central in the large circular cut out on the Zeus PCB.
4.
Connect the motor to the controller board using the Motor connector block.
The board has legends that should match RED, BLUE and GREY standard
motor colours. If your platter runs backwards the colour coding on your motor
does not match the Linn/Airpax standard so reverse the BLUE & RED wires.

If using the original Linn Valhalla switch and flexible cable attach to the black
connector marked LINN-PSW1 with the copper contacts uppermost. If using
the supplied switch remove the existing square LINN switch and replace with
the square switch/PCB assembly. You will need to angle the switch into the
hole – it will be a snug fit. Connect the FFC cable to PSW1 (underneath the
black LINN-PSW1 connector) with the contacts facing towards the PCB.
6.
Connect the mains supply cord to the Zeus to either the 230v or 115v
connections as appropriate for your geography.
7.
Connect the supplied USB cable to the board Serial connector and route
outside the plinth using the mains power cable cut-out.
8.
If you have purchased the OLED/Speed Sensor, route the cables for these
next. See section 2.3 and 2.4 for detailed instructions. Calibrate the sensor.
9.
Replace the platter base board.
10.
Connect the turntable to the mains supply.
11.
Switch on depress the start switch briefly < 0.5 second. The platter should turn
now at 33.3 rpm. If all is fine test 45 rpm by depressing the switch until the
